Hr21 Pro D'oh!

Ok so now that it is official I want to add one of these to my rack in my theater. Anyone think DTV will offer any deals? I just got my second HR20 installed this week. I was wondering if I should call them and tell them to take it back.

"The HR21-200 was leaked last week, and we've seen prototypes at other shows, but now the prosumer DVR will finally go into production around the end of October and offers some nice features for custom installers -- or anyone who's serious about their home theater -- like being rack mountable without a Middle Atlantic shelf, having a built in fiber HDMI port for long runs, or double the storage capacity of the HR20 (about 100 hours of MPEG-4 HD). In fact, the only downside seems to be the omission of OTA tuners, which is a non-issue if DirecTV HD locals are available in your area, but that can be a drag until DirecTV adds all the HD locals in every market."

And a lot of times they just show these prototypes just to gage what kind of interest of buzz there might be for it. Many, many things shown at CES and CEDIA never see the light of day, not just from D*.
